XP & UDMA Problem

Hi

My brother did a clean install of XP2600 on his old Asus P3B-F (BX chipset)
The motherboard BIOS detects his 3 IDE devices as UDMA2 33mb/s (2 Hdrives & DVD)

In device manager both the IDE controllers are detected as running at UMDA0 (16mb/s)
I thought XP should have the correct Intel chipset driver built in, I downloaded the latest checked the readme file and it is not needed for XP version 2600.

So I am out of ideas. thanks for any help.
 
have you checked the cables themselves? are there any nics in them, this would cause degradation in data transfer rates.

/edit, that motherboard only supports udma2/33, so 33mbps is max you are gonna get on that board
 
Hi

"have you checked the cables themselves?"

No, but it would be a problem with both cables and the BIOS detects them at there correct speed. XP detects them at 1/2 there correct speed (UDMA0).

Yes I know that the board can only do UDMA33.

Thanks anyway.
